Diablo has only 2 panels, each 30 minutes long... That can't be good :(

I'm pretty sure they are done with 3. I thought I heard them say Reaper of Souls was going to be the final expac, and we also got a new class as a filler. There's not much to expect anymore except balance changes and stuff. They might make a D4, but didn't we finish Diablo once and for all?

They already stated that Diablo is not getting anything new at blizzcon. It was posted by a blue at diablofans

I thought that when Malthael consumed the black soulstone and was defeated, Diablo's spirit was freed.. Again. Not really sure where his spirit went, but if they want to make Diablo 4, they can.

Boss design panel sounds fun although that sounds like very few will be able to participate in it.

There will be a time for that at some point in the future, but that time is not now.]

Can't wait for the What's Next for WoW panel. I think we need a new expansion soon. Legion is getting very stale already.

For D 4, if they wanted to they could always go back to the beginning of the Eternal Conflict and the Sin War. They could cover the birth of the nephalem and the first binding of the Prime Evils over the course of it all.

Whenever Diablo gets its big update sequel/expansion/whatever in the future, I hope it includes the leading founders of Sanctuary, maybe corruption of Imperius so we can kill him, too.

Looking forward to the voice actor panels again. I need to apologize to the VA for Sombra in Overwatch for last BlizzCon.

Yep! We did! And then the destruction of Malthael released all the Evil into the world again.Which means we can face down all 7 evils in one game.

Till the very end, I held out hope for somehow saving Leah in D3 with Chris Metzen saying that her spirit might be "floating around somewhere" and Covetous Shen making mysterious remarks about seeing something similar before and not underestimating the girl.

Agree. Wouldn't an Overwatch panel be more appropriate for this kind of sjw pandering.

Why do you think a panel with women in it is "sjw pandering"? Are you so easily triggered that one panel with women makes you upset?

I remember when I was a little boy and I used to think girls were gross and I'd make fun of them and didn't want them near me. I was about 8 years old so maybe these individuals are as well and that's why they feel icky about this panel.

I'm personally looking forward to it as it presumably will include the VO actors for Jaina and Sylvanas, two of my favorite characters, who I think are going to play bigger roles in the next expansion.

Amen.

I wonder if the voice of Xal'atath will be there.

Jaina is the face of Blizzcon this year, there's probably an expansion to be announced, and they're having a panel focusing on the Strong Women of WoW.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say Jaina, Sylvanas, or both of them will be very important players in the next (void?) expansion.

Will Jaina go all Garrosh? Will Sylvanas try to gain immortality through the void? Will Turalyon and Alleria break up over their polarization issues?
